Bullet journaling has become a surprising source of joy, relaxation, and creativity for me. It’s portable, relevant, and personal. It’s also designed exactly how I want it because I get to make it myself. It keeps me accountable in a way nothing else has. Through it and to improve it I’ve learned calligraphy, watercolor, some collaging, and I’m looking into turning some of my art into stickers. All of this is possible because of skills I’ve gained not just through bullet journaling, but throughout my entire time soaking up information at the SOJC.

New York is my bujo inspiration this week. Like many of my peers have already stated, this trip is a tremendous privilege and I can’t quite believe the it’s finally here. And now, my cheesy tag line that matches this week’s theme to wrap this all up– New York is going to be out of this world!
